Well, three classes at school including mine went on a 7-mile hike today, and one of the boys, D, said that I should start thinking about getting a boyfriend. I had decided that if someone brought up boy/girlfriends, then I would come out. So I said that I might get a boyfriend or a girlfriend. I knew that D would tell others, and we were walking in a group, so the news that I was bi travelled very fast. D's first reaction was that I must be joking, which was echoed by just about everyone who spoke to me for the next half hour. As I expected, I was then interrogated for the rest of the hike (I came out before lunch). So, I am now out to about 80-90 people and they will no doubt tell their friends. It is weird; I am glad to be out, and it was very funny to see everyone's reactions (not one was negative, though one person jokingly ran away from me a few paces). It feels strange as I was just getting comfy in my closet and gently opening the door and now everyone at school knows, or as good as. I feel like: (!) :icon_sad: :bang: :icon_bigg :eusa_doh: (&&&). Should I feel this way? I was not going to be out to everyone until Year 10, as we move sites for school and apparrantly people are more accepting, but I am happy to be out overall. I just hope no-one tells my mother! Just my ramblings!
Congratulations for coming out at your age. Back when I was in Year Ten, I was still coming to terms with my sexuality and if I had truly known back then, I would've been out back then. You handled the situation well, got a positive response and feel better overall. Well done.
i totally understand. being out at all will make you feel that way. but first, I MUST say: :eusa_clap you are BRAVE. i don't have the guts tell even my friends, let alone the whole school! im duely impressed.
Awesome =P Similar happened to me a few months ago, although i was pretty much obliged to get out he closet, i felt much better when i did it. Shorter than 1 day my whole classroom knew it (but most people don't even comment) and im pretty sure the whole school (hipotetically speaking) knows it by now lol. I wouldn't say my coming out was good, because...i came out because of an horrible situation, but later i admit; that "horrible" situation finally made me get out. You are very brave for coming out, most people at our current age (13-15 or even 16) aren't mature enough to respect other people's natural attractions, or they are discriminative as many people on this world.... I haven't been target of bullies or anything.. (like i was expecting) and even 110% straight friends joke around about my bi-ness XD, i talk about guys with my female friends, and about girls with male friends. They all know it, and they take it very well, not treating me like if i was "confused" or anything. I wish you the same luck! Now, Doesn't it feel awesome when you truly act the way you are ? Heh <3
Sometimes the time just sort of sneaks up on you. Congrats on taking the plunge! The emotions right after coming out can be like a complete roller coaster so its completely normal. Glad everything turned out well for you
Wow, well done, and you're only 14 as well! When I was that age I hadn't even accepted my sexuality let alone thought about coming out, let alone told the entire school. Congratulations! That's quite an achievement. (*hug*)
I would say, tell your good friends and make sure you have a support network, so incase your parents find out, you will have people to go to to talk with or support you. Good for you though. I was completely not aware of myself at your age, much less anywhere near coming out.
OMG YAY! Well done! *plans even larger party for you* I wish I could be as brave and awesome! YYYYYYYAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!! -again...
